What is the difference between moving into the bowing position

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : And on this basis, if someone were to ask: What is the difference between moving into the bowing position and moving into the prostration position? Is not each of them a movement from a higher position to a lower one?

Answer : The answer is: Yes, but acts of worship are based on explicit divine instruction, so analogical reasoning (qiyas) does not apply to them. If analogical reasoning were applied to such matters regarding the attributes of acts of worship and similar things, the discipline of people would be lost, and it would be lost. Every person would reason by analogy according to what he wants or what he thinks is the case, and the pillars would be compromised, and the agreement of the Muslim community (ummah) regarding their acts of worship by which they draw near to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) would be lost.
